Be it known that we,

WASHING APPARATUS.
Patented Nov. 5, 1907.
Application filed January 2&{1907- fierial No. 353.903
ROBERT THORN HAINES, re-
siding at 26 Osnaburgh street, Regents Park, in the county of London, scientific expert, and FREDERICK Northumberland avenue, in the county of London, gentlemen, both citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented certain new and useful Imto make and use the same.
Our invention relates to improvements in apparatus for washing clothes.
Our invention relates to the type of washing machine in which the circulation of water in the boiler is caused in such a manner that the boiling water and steam rise through a perforated steam chamber up from the bottom underneath the clothes in the boiler and is discharged from a pipe arranged at the top of said steam chamber above the clothes thus causing a rapid and constant stream of boiling water to pass through the fabric as well as along its surface thereby effectively cleansing the clothes.
According to our invention we arrange an apparatus adapted to stand in the boiler having at its bottom a large well weighted funnel shaped steam chamber provided at its apex with an upri 'ght tube on which is arranged to slide an upper tube provided with a cap adapted to direct the boiling from the steam chamber in Penetrating said cap water and steam passing a downward direction.
we arrange a pipe through which the dirty water can be drawn off if desired. Our apparatus is provided at its outer surface with a series of semi-circular or other conveniently shaped guards adapted to keep the clothes from ing too closely to the apparatus being drawn or clingand thereby insuring that the boiling water is allowed to pass through a series of perforations arranged in the lower part of the steam chamber so as to keep the water in constant circulation.
Our invention is more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation is a longitudinal section.
of our apparatus. Fig. 2
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig.
modification.
Referring now to the drawings, we arrange a funnel l is held to the pipe shaped body 1. adapted to form a steam chamber for the boiling water.
At the apex of the chamber 1 We arrange an upright pipe 2 on which is adapted to telescopically slide a pipe 3 provided at its upper end with a cap 4, which 3, a slight distance thereabove by the arms 10. In said cap 4 we arrange a pipe 5 to which we may attach a flexible tube 6.
The chamber 1 is provided with a weight 7 adapted to hold the apparatus in position at the bottom of the boiler. On the outer surface of the chamber we .arrange a series of corrugations forming semi-circular or other conveniently shaped guards 8 and between said channels we arrange one or more series of perforations.
The operation of our apparatus is as folloWs:-The apparatus is first placed in the boiler and the clothes arranged around it. When the water boils steam is generated inside the cone, which, forces the water up and out of the top opening of the funnel causing a vacuum inside the cone, to replace which the water is sucked or drawn through the clothes and entering the perforations is again forced up and continues indefinitely to repeat the process of circulation which sucks or draws from the clothes every kind of dirt and soil.
Owing'to the corrugations or semi-circular or other conveniently shaped guards 8 which we arrange around the outer surface of the steam chamber the clothes or the like are kept from winding so tightly around the outer surface of said chamber or being drawn so closely as to choke the apertures 9, while a part of the water passes through said guards and in the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 passes direct to the circulation holes insuring a brisk circulation through the apparatus and thereby a vigorous suction of the water through the clothes in the boiler. to telescopically slide upon the pipe 2 the apparatus can be adapted to suit the depth of any boiler in which it may be used.
In order to draw out the water from the boiler, the pipe 3 is pressed down over the pipe 2 until the cap 4 comes up against the top of the pipe 2. The water in the boiler then passes through the steam chamber 1 up through the pipe 2 and out through the pipe 5 and flexible pipe 6 into any suitable receptacle or sink. In this manner the dirty water can be drawn off from the boiler in a very quick and convenient manner;
In the modification shown in Fig. 5 we arrange the perforations 9 through the wall of the steam chamber inside the semi-circular or other conveniently shaped guards arranged on the outer surface of the said chamber, thereby entirely preventing any chance of the clothes closing the apertures.
What We claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
In combination, a funnel-shaped body, an upright pipe communicating with the body at the apex thereof, a second pipe telescopically engaging the first named pipe, a cap carried by the second named pipe, a pipe carried by the cap 10 and projecting therethrough, and a Weight arranged within the funnel-shaped body at the apex therof, said Weight having a perforation registering with the first named pipe, and guards secured to the outer surface of the funnelshaped body, said funnebshaped body having a series of perforations adjacent its edge. y
In witness whereof We have hereunto set our hands in presence of two witnesses.
